Orbs

Contents

Orbs are left behind after a Sim who's completed their Life Dreams has died. Once you have picked up an orb, you can choose to either sell it, pass it on to another Sim to upgrade it, or to build a place.

Each orb has a different value, depending on how upgraded it is. Bronze Orbs sell for 40,000 Simoleons, Silver Orbs sell for 90,000 Simoleons, Gold Orbs sell for 180,000 Simoleons, and Platinum Orbs sell for 300,000 Simoleons.

The Carnival itself costs 5 Bronze Entertainer Orbs and 2 Silver Entertainer Orbs. To unlock the High Striker Hobby you need to pay 2 Silver Entertainer Orbs and 4 Gold Entertainer Orbs. To build the Jumping Castle you must pay 3 Gold Entertainer Orbs and 1 Platinum Orb. In order to build the Carousel you have to pay 3 Gold Entertainer Orbs and 1 Platinum Orb. And to build the Ferris Wheel you need to pay 3 Gold Entertainer Orbs and 2 Platinum Orbs.

Passing Orbs on to other Sims is the only way to upgrade orbs. Your first Sim will get a Bronze Orb, giving it to another Sim now gives that second Sim the chance to get it up to a Silver, then a third Sim can get it to a Gold and a fourth Sim to a Platinum.
